Binge drinking (BD) refers to a pattern of alcohol consumption characterized by the consumption of large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time followed by periods of abstinence. This drinking pattern is prevalent worldwide, mainly among young people. Excessive alcohol consumption is the spectrum of consumption patterns that may have or have had health consequences, and includes the concepts of risky alcohol use, harmful alcohol use and alcohol dependence according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV), the latter two are currently grouped into alcohol use disorder (AUD) according to the fifth edition of the DSM (DSM-5). Due to the high prevalence of BD among young people, especially university students, as well as the important consequences of its practice, a study was conducted to evaluate excessive alcohol consumption and its relationship with the practice of BD in university students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among students (aged 18-30 years) enrolled in the academic year 2018-2019 at the Faculty of Nursing at a university in northern Spain. Data collection included sociodemographic information, and alcohol use information, collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. To measure the excessive alcohol consumption, this study used the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT).
A total of 142 participants were included, of which 88.03% were women. Up to 38.03% were classified as BD. Up to 14.77% of non-BD participants and 66.67% of BD participants were classified as risky drinkers (AUDIT Total 8 in men or 6 in women) ( < 0.001). Up to 3.41% of the non-BD and 24.07% of the BD were drinkers with harmful alcohol use and probable alcohol dependence (AUDIT Total 13) ( < 0.001). A total of 5.68% of non-BD and 42.59% of BD were AUD drinkers (AUDIT Total 9 in males or 8 in females) ( < 0.001). In addition, statistically significant differences were found between the BD and non-BD groups in the responses to each of the AUDIT items, as well as in the total score and also in the scores of the three domains of the questionnaire.
Excessive alcohol consumption is frequent among university students, especially among those who practice BD.
binge drinking（BD）是一种饮酒模式，其特征是在短时间内大量饮酒，随后是禁欲期。这种饮酒模式在全球范围内都很普遍，主要发生在年轻人中。过量饮酒是消费模式的范围，可能对健康有或有影响，根据《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV），包括危险饮酒、有害饮酒和酒精依赖的概念，后两者根据第五版 DSM（DSM-5）目前被归为酒精使用障碍（AUD）。由于年轻人，尤其是大学生中 BD 的高患病率，以及其实践的重要后果，因此进行了一项研究来评估大学生中过量饮酒及其与 BD 实践的关系。
这是一项在西班牙北部一所大学护理学院 2018-2019 学年的学生（年龄 18-30 岁）中进行的横断面研究。数据收集包括社会人口学信息和使用半结构化问卷收集的酒精使用信息。为了测量过量饮酒，本研究使用了酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）。
共纳入 142 名参与者，其中 88.03%为女性。多达 38.03%的人被归类为 BD。多达 14.77%的非 BD 参与者和 66.67%的 BD 参与者被归类为危险饮酒者（AUDIT 总分 男性 8 分或女性 6 分）（<0.001）。多达 3.41%的非 BD 和 24.07%的 BD 是有害饮酒和可能的酒精依赖者（AUDIT 总分 13）（<0.001）。非 BD 组共有 5.68%和 BD 组 42.59%的人是 AUD 饮酒者（男性 AUDIT 总分 9 分或女性 8 分）（<0.001）。此外，BD 组和非 BD 组在 AUDIT 每个项目的回答、总分以及问卷的三个领域的得分上均存在统计学差异。
大学生中过量饮酒很常见，尤其是那些有 BD 行为的大学生。
